(12,875 posts)So I'm only involved in so-called "non-heirarchical" (I prefer the term collectively run, which has
some positive non-leftist connotations) projects at a local level. Generally speaking, it is like any
other system of self-organization. Just, you know, not top-down.
They are all prone to abuse by assholes. In fact, the person who said that it works great until you get
2 or more people together was being overly specific. This is true of human society in general; that's the problem.
Don't forget that anarcho-utopians existed before the hard left came along and made it seem all ooo scary.
It wasn't supposed to be a left-right thing; that's a gloss applied by the major political parties over
direction they want to see the gov't. Of course when you look at party alignment, "left" libertarians
are naturally aligned with the left these days, but I prefer to associate with populism, especially since
I'm a spiritual person and most folks on the hard left are anti-religious.
